MTL - Zhui Xu-~ Chapter 113 Bitter Winter (4)

"...Speaking of the end of her seclusion, after returning to Liangshan, I want to set up a correct life orientation for a few children, encourage them to love life and keep fit, and tell them some stories about martial arts... Then here In this matter, I am relatively low-key, and I cannot say that I am myself, so I usually make up a few powerful names..."

The gentle light path spread, and several figures walked on the city wall, listening to the ins and outs of certain things in the warm night wind.

"Well, come out to hang out, the name must be aggressive, of course, there is something about Dongfang Bubai, which sounds very powerful... Dongfang Bubai's younger brother, West Failure, is a supporting role, he is not important... There is also the meaning of Dugu only me, the only one who respects me, Ah, this name is also good, I like it very much... And among the three masters in the world, there is one... named Long Aotian..."

Ning Yi, who was wearing a handsome coat, reached out while walking, and tapped the newsprint in his wife's hand. Su Tan'er saw that he was talking at length, full of idioms, and knew that something was wrong. At this time, the expression on his face had changed several times, and he opened the newsprint with a reward written on it.

"So... in those powerful martial arts stories that you told me, Mr. Xianggong... this Long Aotian... the third master in the world, Long Aotian's nickname is... the five-foot demon? How do you tell the child this..."

"It's the number one master in the world." Ning Yi rubbed his forehead, "The sad thing is that the number one master in the world can't be called the five-foot y demon. How could I tell a group of children that the number one expert in the world is called the y demon. The first One, the number one master in the world cannot be called Y Demon, and second, I can’t tell my children about Y Demon—Tan’er, what’s going on with your thinking..."

He turned to look at his wife at the side, only to see that she was also looking at him in amused and annoyed manner, and then she was punched in the hand.

"Oh..." Ning Yi sighed.

Tan'er on the side also rubbed his forehead, and smiled wryly: "So this is the reputation he earned by himself, the second... Well, this matter has to be pressed down, and Xiaochan can't know, I won't let Xiaochan know. You... Fortunately, he used an alias..."

"It's useless to use an alias. Xi'er, Xiaohe, Wenwen, Xiaoke, Shuang, Ning... all of them know Long Aotian's name, Hei Niu and the others have also heard of it... careless, I think this child will have to die when he comes back... Alas, I have a demon in my heart, and I gave birth to a child named Yin Demon... After the bounty was offered, there were groups of five-foot demons and a friend named four-foot demons, crazy, He is a little monk, so he is not lacking in virtue..."

Tan'er suppressed a smile, and couldn't help but hit Ning Yi twice when her expression changed. She has been in charge of the house all these years, calm and dignified. But then he frowned again.

"Then what should I do... Xiaoji, why do you think he made such a mess... It must be a misunderstanding..."

"Who knows? Qian Laoba and the others haven't come back yet, so I don't know the ins and outs. But people's hearts and ghosts are sinister, and maybe it's not a misunderstanding. After being played by Yu Xiaoer, that bitch, he learned from the painful experience and decided to take revenge on women all over the world. After going out, through unremitting efforts, I gained a great reputation... You see, I even took in a younger brother, I must admire him very much..."

"That's no wonder. If that's the case, Eighth Master and the others wouldn't have sent back these endless pieces of paper. This is not a small matter, what can Xiao Chan do..."

"What can I do, young man? It's better to make a joke than to be killed when you're traveling three thousand miles away."

In the night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the city wall surrounded by lights was blowing. During the two people's walk, Tan'er read the news paper several times. Then she looked at her husband next to her: "You seem quite happy."

Ning Yi smiled slightly: "The world is vast and wonderful. He traveled three thousand miles at a young age to see his parents' hometown. He must have experienced a lot of things to make such a reputation. , have you ever wondered what Jiangning he saw when he went there? Are the Su family compound and some of our things still there... Also, I heard that this time in Jiangning, Chen Fan went to collect debts from Lin Echan , There was a fight between the two sides. The peak duel, I wish I could go to the scene and kill this beast with my own hands."

He was in a cheerful mood, and Tan'er also smiled: "I don't think you should make trouble, Mr. Ning. If you team up with Chen Fan, we will lose."

"What does it mean to join hands with Chen Fan? What is his identity and what is my identity? I must have brought my left and right attendants..."

"One of the attendants is surnamed Lu and the other is surnamed Liu?"

"Well, let them beat that fat man to death."

He said so, looking out of the city: "Oh, this is the scenery that only young people can have, unlike us now, where we have meetings every day, or a group of such and such people come to intercede, earnestly, want you Take it back, each one of them is not exciting enough, it is far worse than Zuo Duanyou. In my opinion, these great Confucian scholars are not as good as each other..."

In front of the closest family members, it is not the first time he has sighed "I have been in a cage for a long time, and I can't be free". Su Tan'er was aroused by his words, and looked outside the city and recalled Jiang Ning Then he tilted his head and said: "There are also people's hearts fluttering in Zhangcun. Some wives and wives from the military and various departments come to the door in turn to make some friends, and then ask about the land reform. I see. , can imagine, if the land is taken back to the country, how much will they benefit next, and how much money will we have to pay to buy these lands for peaceful redemption? One point and two points, including the bargaining link in the middle, will not go smoothly."

She paused, then smiled: "Of course, there are also some sisters who are more ruthless. They asked why they didn't push Jiangnan to kill landlords once, and then we will set things right. I remember you mentioned this method before."

"The conference as a whole tends to promote this matter in a peaceful way." Ning Yi tilted his head and whispered, "Essentially speaking, this is because the idea of ​​equality has not become the main axis of the Huaxia Army's spirit. In the past, the order was firstly the word Huaxia corresponding to revenge and anti-gold, then the development corresponding to Gewu, and then the people's livelihood, civil rights and wisdom and the corresponding equality. But to be honest, many people are guilty of real equality. Whispering, even including me, my confidence is not enough."

Tan'er turned to look at him, then hooked his fingers: "This... I think it's okay to take it slowly..."

"Well." Ning Yi nodded with unclear meaning, "We have only been beaten for more than ten years. Many people believe that the old methods in the past are good, including today's Chengdu. Everyone sees its development and prosperity. No more fussing, mobilizing the Huaxia Army from the bottom to promote an out-of-control land equalization activity, we have no such option for the time being. If I force this, the Huaxia Army may disintegrate internally."

Su Tan'er nodded: "When you said it in the past, I think you want to use this method more. I don't understand it very well, but if you do it, I will support it."

"I have some strange obsessions." Ning Yi smiled, "But things will always change during the movement. As far as the situation of the Huaxia Army is concerned, the most convenient way to implement this kind of thing is to directly incite The entire Chengdu Plain is divided into local tyrants to divide the land, and we have a basic disk of more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, which can gradually clean up the mess in the whole area. In short, it is to replicate the situation in Jiangnan today, the only difference Yes, we have guaranteed the purity of the inside, and we can digest others step by step, while He Wen's side, the purity of the inside is worrying..."

He took his wife's hand, turned and walked forward.

"...But in this way, the process of unifying the Chengdu Plain will be extended on a large scale, and the resistance of the landlords here will intensify. And the focus of our work in the future can only be focused on purging and guiding the peasant movement, and the development of Gewu will be Lag... and at the time there were two important considerations..."

"First, at the current social level, everyone can understand the prosperity after the development of Gewu, but the thinking and desire for equality are not so common, and there is no rational accumulation at the ideological level... and the second point The consideration is that if the development of Gewuxue has not formed a scale, and has not found the possibility of real and long-term development, then the enlightenment of the people is likely to be empty talk. Confucianism was actually radical and heroic during the time of Confucius. The efforts of generations to make the world unified, later people found it impossible to do so, so people can make people know it, but it can’t be done. In fact, if there is no possibility of great material development, this is actually a very scientific one. How to deal with it."

"In any case, our side has made a choice..."

In the night, Ning Yi's words were calm, more like self-reflection and summary made when there was no one in private, Su Tan'er listened quietly, this is a scene that occasionally appears in Zhangcun. Ning Yi is used to sorting out her thoughts in front of a few people close to her. Tan'er can understand some, but most of the time, she is not as keen to participate in the discussion as Watermelon.

It was normal at this time, she shook Ning Yi's hand: "So, are you sure?"

"Ah, it can be done."

Ning Yi looked towards Chengdu.

The possibility of an industrial revolution had already begun to take root.

With this achievement as a foundation, what else can't be tried?

In the cool night breeze, the couple walked hand in hand, and then talked about some trivial family matters. Tan'er talked about the homework of the children, and then talked about the issue of Ning Ji.

They went down from the city wall and got into the carriage. The carriage gradually drove into the tree-shaded street, and as they walked forward, the people who were originally looking at the scenery gradually turned into the scenery in the eyes of others.

This is the night in Chengdu when the land reform has entered the countdown.

Getting up from his seat, the dinner in "Yingzhou" came to an end, a group of people came down the stairs, Lin Qiu put his arm around the shoulder of the leader surnamed Chen.

"Brother Chen, really, don't act rashly. This time, the boss is staring at and fighting against the boss. It will not end well. In Shiling back then, Wanyan Zonghan and Gao Qingyi were scolded like grandsons in front of him. My son was killed and I still have to say thank you, I was there. Brother saved your life, saved your life..."

As he walked, he patted the other person's chest: "But, if you take it back, you will always have to release it. How do you divide it up? Are you afraid that it won't do you any good if you have a younger brother watching over you? I'm afraid you will have no money at that time... So, Brother Chen, the development of this place depends on you. Now the strategy of the top is to stimulate domestic demand. What is domestic demand? You bring in a lot of people from outside. After they come in, they want houses, they want to marry wives, they want to study, they want to eat and drink Lazar, they are in domestic demand. More recruits, more recruits, more people, more power, more people consume enough, this is what the boss said, when did the boss miss it? When do you say the boss missed it..."

The businessman surnamed Chen echoed with a smile. Lin Qiu asked twice, but got no answer, and waved to the side: "Old Tan, Lao Tan, tell me, when did the boss miss it?"

"...Ah?" The fat man named Lao Tan blinked.

"Tell me, when did the boss miss it? Tell me..."

"Boss is right!" The businessman surnamed Chen who was being hugged hurriedly made a rescue, "How could the boss be wrong, right? But Mr. Lin, it is becoming more and more difficult to accept people from outside now. Your policy is so A lot, the benefits are also high, and we have to arrange for the children to go to school, as well as medical examinations and accommodation, etc. We have invested a lot..."

"What's the big investment, you cry poor in front of me, is that spending your money? It's in black and white, people borrowed money from you, and you have to work to repay it. The wool comes from sheep. The more they borrow, the more money they need Do things? Do more things for you, and you will make more money. You see, if they borrow more, they will spend more, and then do it, and everyone will benefit more. Isn’t this a win-win situation? This is human rights!” He said Turning his head to look at the crowd, "Do you understand this is human rights?"

Everyone responded in a mess.

Lin Qiu waved his hand: "Human rights are a good thing. If it weren't for human rights, why would the country take over the land? If the country doesn't take over the land, what good will it do you in the future? Ah? If there is no human rights, why should they lend you so much money? No You have so much money, why do you have to work hard to pay off your debts? You, white-eyed wolf, don’t understand the painstaking efforts of the boss... You have to take a long-term view, long-term, long-term things should be measured! Do you understand?"

Reeked of booze.

"...So, recruit more people, find more people, do more things and make more money, and then recruit people after making money. Who is not easy to recruit, don't fool me, what are you doing outside, they are all at war, Liu Guangshi beat Zou Xu, fair party internal strife, Wu Qimei Tieyan is about to die, and the small court in the southeast is wailing. Old Chen, Lao Tan, is that a place for people to stay? No, people in troubled times are animals, who would not want to come to us. Old Tell me, Tan, who doesn't want to come to our place?"

"—Think about it all." Old Tan replied quickly.

"That's right. They all want to come to us, so what's wrong with recruiting people? Don't complain to me. People in the Huaxia Army never complain about suffering. Chen, the last time I placed so many orders for you, what’s the matter with you procrastinating, the surname Long told me yesterday, please hurry up, don’t make me lose face... In my opinion, you are the only ones who don’t bear hardships and stand hard work... "

The scene of parting was frantic, and when Lin Qiu dawdled to the yard, someone brought a red sandalwood food box over, and the old Chen said: "You just want to chat with Lin Chu after a meal. I didn't eat a few bites, no, let the cook cook the food, all of which are tofu you like, Lao Tan, come, so, let's send it back to Lin Chu."

At this moment, the carriage had already driven in, Lin Qiu waved his hand: "What can I give you? My home is not far from here. Give me something to eat. I'll go back and exercise."

"Lin Chu drank wine..."

"Where did I drink, I didn't drink a few sips, that's all right, give me the box, don't chatter... It's a few steps away."

As he said, he stretched out his hand and patted his head a few times, and then went to grab the box. The box was quite heavy in his hand, but he moved up and down without changing his expression: "It's just right, it's quite good, okay , don’t send it away!”

Showing off his domineering officialdom, a group of people failed to keep him. After a while, he carried the box out of the side door of "Yingzhou", and walked slowly along the tree-lined streets. The influence of alcohol made him Feeling dizzy, the exaggerated majesty faded from his eyes, and he became calm.

After several months in the wine shop, his health has deteriorated. Realizing this, he used his left and right hands alternately to lift and put down the food box, right to do exercises. Pedestrians passed by on the road beside him, clanging horses and horses with orange lanterns passed by, the night scene in the peaceful and prosperous age reminded him of the scene in the Secretariat's studio in the past, when He Deng was very young, Ning Yi is very self-disciplined. Every morning when he gets up and punches, everyone also exercises. Up to now, his body has not lost its shape, but his flesh has obviously become looser.

The land reform is about to start, and countless ants are moving after hearing the news, but he doesn't want the people around him to die in this wave, and let them do many dirty things. If they make money from buying and selling land, who will squeeze those outsiders? prostitutes?

The recent dinner has turned into a good thing to save lives.

Walking to the small river not far from home, the night wind blowing made his head gradually sober, he stood there, blowing the wind for a while, at the other end of the field of vision, Xu Shaoyuan, who had worked with him before, led another young man The soldier came over.

"Lin Chu, why are you thinking about life here? You smell like alcohol."

"Xu Gong, are you taking a walk?"

"I just came back from a meeting." Xu Shaoyuan's name "Xu Gong" is not a serious name, but he is tall and handsome, and he is often ridiculed by others after "I am more beautiful than Xu Gong in the north of the city". At this moment, he pointed to the young man beside him: "Fang Cheng of the working group, Fang Yuan Fang, sincerely sincere. Fang Cheng, Lin Qiu, is the one who told you that he had the honor to accompany Mr. Ning to give Wan Yan Zonghan the honor in Shiling , he is now working in the commercial department, because he is a virgin, he is usually called Lin Chu."

"Yeah, I don't know who is a virgin. I have been there before when Yong Jinrou got married."

Lin Qiu replied to the other party without changing his face, and after shaking hands with Fang Cheng with a smile, he pointed at Xu Shaoyuan: "He, with Mr. Ning's advice, still can't catch up with the woman he likes. Mr. Ning even invented an idiom based on him. , called Shi moved but refused. Very moved, and then rejected him—just him.”

"Ah, our team leader..." The young man named Fang Cheng was full of interest for a while.

Xu Shaoyuan slapped him to the back: "Stop talking to this guy, you want to be a virgin too?"

Lin Qiu smiled triumphantly, and then said, "Okay, I don't bother you. Do you want to eat? I have tofu here."

"Lin Chu is very simple, okay."

Xu Shaoyuan smiled, and the two walked to the bluestone bench by the river, and when they turned to call Fang Cheng, the young man said he didn't want to eat, and stayed there to wait. Opening the food box, there were indeed several stacks of dishes mainly made of tofu in the three-layer box, and there was only one pair of chopsticks. Lin Qiu broke two chopsticks from the middle, and the two of them sat there and tasted the dishes. Xu Shaoyuan liked it quite a bit, but Lin Qiu was tired of it.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Lin Qiu said, "Speaking of which, I prefer to eat the Chenji tofu outside Hedeng's family courtyard. Do you remember fried tofu with dried tofu? They have a lot of meat."

"Then do you like meat or tofu?"

"I do not know…"

"And the meat at Chen Ji's is not much at all, it's a little bit every time. You see, the meat in a bowl of vegetables at his house is not as much stuffed as in your piece of Yong Tau Foo... Well, it's delicious, This chef has a set."

"If it's delicious, eat more."

"That goes without saying, since you have a bit of food accumulation, don't eat it, the rest is all mine."

Under the cool night wind, on the stone bench by the river, Xu Shaoyuan gobbled it up, but Lin Qiu laughed: "Mr. Xu pays attention to his image, he looks like a starved ghost reincarnated. People think that the Huaxia Army is short of food when they see it."

"I was so moved that I refused, what image do I need? It's you, who was reused and promoted. Didn't I hear that you proposed marriage to a girl this year... in May? Uh... a girl from the Zuo family who stayed here Yes, your name is Zuo Jing, right? You are beautiful and outstanding. In July, you gave up your marriage again. As the name suggests, they are very calm and didn’t beat you up, but what’s the matter with you? I really want to keep the title of Lin Chu What about it? Or is it that the flowers are getting more and more charming, and there is another object?"

When Xu Shaoyuan talked about this, Lin Qiu looked forward calmly, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and said slowly: "I... suddenly discovered something."

Xu Shaoyuan stuffed stuffed tofu into his mouth: "What?"

Lin Qiu's voice was lower, and he paused every word: Xu Shaoyuan leaned over and heard him say: "...It's better to be a man."

Xu Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and readily agreed: "I think so too."

"Unfortunately, you are so ugly..."

"You're a little short..."

The people around Ning Yi were never afraid of any bad jokes, the two disgusted each other, and then laughed angrily. After a while, Xu Shaoyuan ate all the food, burped, and tapped his chopsticks on the box.

"After the Huaxia Army entered Chengdu, the stalls have grown, and each has its own place to go. Sometimes, we don't see each other, and we don't know what you are up to. But my brother has something to teach you."

"Brother, tell me."

"Although tofu is delicious, you can't make all the tofu in a box. Look at you, if you eat accumulated food, you will be wasted today without me. So people, you should be restrained in doing happy things, no There are going to be problems with rules and regulations.”

He said, putting the chopsticks in the food box.

Lin Qiu smiled: "Understood, Mr. Xu still loves me."

"Xu Gong doesn't love you, Xu Gong's heart is broken."

The two sat there, looking at the moon in the sky. After a while, Xu Shaoyuan got up, and Lin Qiu also got up, saying, "When will the land reform start? Are you going to start?"

"The public opinion propaganda in the early stage is already in progress. We just finished the last meeting. We will all leave tomorrow morning." Xu Shaoyuan pointed to the sky, "The land reform countdown..."

He paused.

"...five hours."

"Take care of yourself."

Lin Qiu saluted.

Xu Shaoyuan also saluted, then he stretched out his hand, patted the other person's shoulder, and smiled.

"One day, the UU reading www.uukanshu.com revolution will be successful, and I will drink with you all."

This is what many people in the Huaxia Army learned from Ning Yi. Some of them understand its meaning, and some don't, but in any case, this is the most solemn agreement.

…

The stars and the moon flow. After a while, Xu Shaoyuan and Fang Cheng left the riverside caressed by the night breeze.

Lin Qiu returned to his courtyard with the red sandalwood food box. He packed up the dishes in the box, split the wooden box, and threw the gold bars in the interlayer into the messy warehouse. After sobering up with a hot towel, I sat quietly in the yard for a while.

Before going to bed, I just remembered that I should exercise and slapped myself.

Soon after, land reform began.
